Long overdue review, But I’ve been going to Thai Elephant Express since they’ve open. I can remember when their Pad Thai prices were around 8-9$ a plate! (Miss these prices )
Although prices have gone up, the quality hasn’t changed. Everything I’ve tried here is delicious.
My go order is usually the 2 plate combo with, Rice, Garlic chicken and either the yellow curry chicken or tamarin fish.
If you haven’t tried their Pad Thai, I would strongly recommend this as well. The portion sizes in everything you order is very generous, and their service is friendly and quick!
Parking can be a bit crazy, so sometimes I’ll park across the street at Target, and then walk over.
Will recommend to anyone in the area looking for some great Thai takeout!

I love when I get to leave a review like this. The photo looks like basic yellow curry but no no nooooo, looks can be deceiving because the flavor is
stir fries, Thai and curry are my favorite styles of food. I came in to try the garlic chicken after reading some reviews that it was good here. And it was good (one of the workers let me sample several dishes)
But when she handed me the yellow and green curry to try, MY GAWD, about knocked my socks off, absolutely delicious. Definitely one of the if not the BEST yellow and green curry I’ve tried before. I ended up going with the yellow curry and will be back tomorrow to try different dishes. Workers are very friendly, nice atmosphere, I love that they have everything presented in front of you, pricing is good. Food is very delicious. Solid restaurant worth ya money, time, and the experience.

Food was good, way too many bean sprouts on top but easy to take off. Service was rushed, did not feel welcomed.

I’ve been going here for years, whether its a few times a month or every week the food is always delicious. I usually get the Garlic chicken and massaman curry. My friends really like their tamarind fish, which Im unfortunately allergic to. Their Thai milk tea is honestly one of my favorites.
The service is always great and they try to get through the line as fast as possible so the wait isnt too long. There are some chairs and tables, but I prefer getting my food to-go as it could get rather crowded in the restaurant.

If you’re in San Jose and craving some authentic Thai cuisine, Thai Elephant Express is a spot you shouldn’t miss. The food here is great, offering a variety of flavorful dishes that are sure to satisfy your taste buds.
One of the standout features of this restaurant is its friendly staff. From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with warm smiles and excellent service, making the dining experience even more enjoyable.
Service is also impressively fast and reliable. Whether you’re dining in or taking out, you can expect your food to be ready in a timely manner without compromising on quality. 2 Item Meals are highly recommend to sample different dishes.
Moreover, the portions are quite generous. Considering the reasonable prices, the hefty servings provide excellent value for money. It’s a perfect place for a fulfilling meal without breaking the bank.

A small, casual, authentic Thai eatery where you order at the counter, and food is served in takeout containers, whether you dine in or take out. I don’t mind the presentation as I’m here for the taste. We had two items with rice: Tamarind fish and Spicy Basil chicken with rice, and Tamarind fish and Yellow chicken curry with rice. I always ask for extra curry sauce over rice to add another flavor burst. It’s so yummy! They also cater to vegetarians. Their Basil fried rice, Pad Thai, and Pad Kee Mow are amazing and made to order, with the option to request your preferred level of spiciness.
If you are in a hurry, call ahead and place your order. They can get busy during lunch or dinner time, but their service is always fast and friendly.

Incredible food and variety. However, it was unclear to me before making my 30-minute drive that yellow curry does not qualify under the $10 “one-item plus rice” offering. Curry + rice came out to $17, which was just unexpected, even if it’s on-par with the market in 2025. Ultimately, the menu and associated pricing proved to be a challenge to navigate.

This is the Panda Express for Thai food
It’s a self serve restaurant , there are tables and chairs inside if you like to eat inside BUT primarily a ToGo place.
The food is served in ToGo Boxes
You can get
1 Curry + Rice OR
2 Curries + Rice
There are good vegetarian options
Apart from that they have custom Noodles like Pad Thai orders too.
Food was excellent . Liked it very much
Ambience is average , tables and chairs for you to eat , ToGo box , paper towels and plastic spoons.
Service : Self Service (Pickup and throwing away of ur finished box)
Prices are reasonable. The 2 Curries + Rice can be super filling for 1 person on a hungry day. Else I think portion size will be good enough for two people with one additional starter I guess.

Service and prices are great. The flavors are decent, but not authentic Thai. No matter what item I tried…they all had the same seasonings. Remind me of Panda’s food…all items had the same flavor.

Some time ago I discovered this little Thai spot and was impressed by how efficiently the staff managed the line while still keeping a friendly tone. Who knew a counter service take out place could feel so polished and attentive, turning a quick meal into a pleasant experience?
